About Us

We are a Service-Disabled Veteran and Hispanic-Owned Small Business

Since 2005 we have provided education, training, and management consulting services to individuals and organizations throughout the world.

Our Approach

By design our Company is flexible. Our headquarters is in Chandler, Arizona USA. It is virtual with the capacity to establish a local presence if the project requires it.

ConstructNET engages with experts to identify organizational challenges and determine solutions for clients.  This may involve forming teams of consultants where several disciplines are necessary, as in the case of consulting and training in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). 

It may involve collaborating with partners as we have in the case of designing, developing, producing, and hosting online courses, where it may be necessary to form a team with technology expertise, curriculum expertise, and with creative and production expertise.

The Company was formed out of a concept developed at Arizona State University’s SkySong, the ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center (https://www.skysong.com/about-skysong/overview/) .  SkySong “is one of the premier economic engines in the Valley of the Sun. The project’s success is a direct result of a focus on innovation and technology that attracts companies ranging from some of the world’s best known brands to one- or two-person startups.”

ConstructNET was incorporated as a private company and launched in 2005.  

The Founders held positions at the University. Lupe Carbajal was in business development at the ASU School of Construction, and Dr. Loui Olivas was a Professor with ASU’s W.P. Carey School of Business.
